    NEWS: Make editorial corrections.
    
    * Bump copyright range end year.
    * Give "PostScript", "Ghostscript", and "PDF" the letter-casing their
      progenitors prescribe.
    * "PDFPIC has now been corrected" -> "PDFPIC has been corrected"
    * Remove unnecessary comma.
    * "0behavior:-" -> "behaviour:"
    * Remove space between option dash and "rPDFPIC_NOSPACE=1".
    * Replace comma with em-dash for break in prose.
    * Add verbs to descriptions of gropdf changes.
    * Hyphenate adjective phrase "backward-compatible".
    * Pull parenthetical cross references inside sentences and do not
      capitalize them as if they were sentences.
    * Make indentation of gropdf news consistent with the other items.
    * Turn a giant noun clause about the new configure option into a
      sentence.
    
    Thanks to Ralph Corderoy for the discussion and Bertrand Garrigues for
    the encouragement to not go on a commit fast. :)
